THE SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK...

Just been over to Gez's blog and she has entered into The Simple Woman's Daybook so I thot for want of anything else to blog I would join in (I have too much to do and not enough time to do it...lol...need to get of here and get on with it!!!)... The byline is

"Would you like to linger on the simple things...then join me and many others in taking a little look into the day plans and thoughts of those who are focusing on simplicity...beauty of the everyday moments. "


FOR TODAY

Outside my window...it is a nice crisp, sunny autumn day although there is a slight chill in the air

I am thinking...will Morgan be happy at Aberdeen Football Club after finally signing on the dotted line for them today!!

I am thankful for...my four beautiful, healthy children, love them to bits even tho they drive me up the wall

From the kitchen...lots of Jamie Oliver this last couple of weeks...Jools Pregnant Pasta, Chicken Pie, Chicken Tray Bake...yummmmm!!!

I am wearing...warm cosy clothes after being at Morgan's football match today

I am creating...Libby's birthday invitations(craft party at Simply Create), Dina's 103 Art Journal (well technically I haven't actually started yet!), Willowing and DT stuff for Simply Create...Oh and also stuff for the craft fairs that I have coming up (wasn't going to be doing any this year but friends twisted my arm to do theirs!)

I am going...to see Take That in concert (again) next year with one of my bestest/oldest friends Liz and her mum (who is 70) and her sister...can't wait!!

I am reading... the Harry Potter Series (again!) - 7th time round for me Gez...lol and yes I am in the Biff and Chip series for the fourth time too...

I am hoping...that my children at least try to behave this week

I am hearing...football commentary - well it is Saturday afternoon

Around the house...there is too much needing done

One of my favorite things...is my new Dylusions Ink Set by Dy at Art From The Heart

A few plans for the rest of the week...to get some of the craft commitments out the way...get my bedroom sorted out for decorating...go to Kath's class over at Simply Create

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
So that's it for me for today - hopefully be back next week with some more crafty stuffy...take care and have a great week....xxx

Yesterday I had the very BIG priviledge of going to Art from the Heart for a workshop - it was a real treat... My husband very kindly drove me the two hours from Penrith where we are on holiday cos I was too scared to drive myself that far...lol.... I had the MOST fantastic day and Dyan as ever was lovely.. Just as well her shop isn't near to Aberdeen as I would probably be in there every day - I really didn't want to leave. We made the Advent boxes which are just lovely and so easy to do - I think the kids might want one each... Every nook and cranny of the studio is filled with gorgeous hand-made creations and I took loads of photos (far too many to put on here, but here are one or two)....

And here is the lovely advent that I made....x
